Introduction of Cotton into The uni.ed'
states.

lnsroduesion oe Cotton into the Uni.ed'
Spain was the first OF the European
states to grow cotton. 1t was intro
dnced hero by tho Moors in the tenth
century. Tho first cotton was planted
In the United States in 1921. Scar
rolls Historical Collections of South
Carolina mention the growth Of the
cotton plant in that province in 1866.
In 1886 1t was planted in gardens in
Talbot county, Maryland, latitude
thirty-nine north. At tho commence
ment Of the revolutionary war, Gen.
Dclagall was said to have had thirty
acres planted in cotton near Savannah,
Georgia. 1t is stated that in 174S,
among the exports of Charleston, South
Carolina, were seven bags of cotton
wool, valued at three pounds eleven
shillings and five pence u bag. An
other small shipment was made in
1864, and in 1870 three more. amount
ing to ten bales. In 1884, eight balcs
shipped to England were seized on the
ground that so much cotton could
not be produced in tho United
States. The first Sea Island cot
ton was grown on the coast of
Georgia in 1886. and its expectation
commenced in 1883, by Alexander Bis
sell of st. Simons Island. In 1891 tho
cotton crop of the United Staten was
| two million pounds, of which three
fourths was grown in South Carolina
and onc-fourlh in Gcorgia. Ten years
later, 1901, forty-eight million pounds
were produced-twenty million pounds
of which was exported.
The United States have long since
excelled all other countries in the guam
tit; and quality of the cotton produced.
India ranks next in Importance in its
supply of cotton 10 the United States,
but its fiber is far inferior to the
American. The other cotton producing
Q ,untries worthy of mention are the East
indies, Egypt, Brazil, tho West Indies
and Guinea.-Amcrican Agriculturist

Another Snare for lnnoceut Youth.

San Francisco Reporter: Thetall and
slender young woman has found Il new
and pretty way to arrange her summer
sash. The tie, the loop and the twist
are so coqucttish that coat buttons and
cancs become willingly invalved in the
intricate but graceful mesh. These
sashes, on morning jaunts and twilight
rides. are responsible for lots of late
breakfasts and !ehindtime teas. They
catch in the bushes, you know, and his
fingers being all thumbs, why, of
coursc-wcll, it takes time to free the
fluffy scarf. 1t is not absolutely nee
cssary that the tall and slender maids
only should twist the loops. Short
maids and plump maids can work
quite as effectively with the silken net.
Only it happened that c long and will

The history OF the Storey estate in
Chicago, since the death of the testa-
tor, is not encouraging to the business
of spending ones life in the accumnla-
ton of q large fortune to be scrambled
for after the successful accumulation is
laid in The coffin. Ever since the death
of Mr.. Storey, proprietor of the Chi
cago Times, the estate has been in

years and no one can tell when it will
end-not, probably. till fully one-half
the property has gone into the hands
of lawyers and court officials. ''The
bills of my lawyers and tho expenses
of my side of this legal isl,t," says
Mrs. Storey, s%already amount to s6l,-

How Rain is Produced.


American Inventor: DID it ever
occur to the reader that there was
lust us much rain in the air above him
on Il clear, bright day as on u cloudy
or rainy one? Rain does not come
rom somewhere else. the water that
vas over you was simply waited TO
some other place. What is said above
explains this. Water is absorbed in
the air above us, at Il certain tempcra-
tare, and it becomes inscnsible. Cecil
that air by ~ wind draft Of cooler
atmosphere, or by electric or chemical
influence, and TIL. moment the nir be-
comes cooler it gives up some of its
watery particles that were insens.blc or
Invisible at the higher temperature.
These small particles thus given out,
unite, and when enough OF them
coalescc, ohstruct the light and
show as clouds. When enough
OF them unite to BIO too
heavy to float in tie air til
begin to descend; pair after pair OF
them come together until Il rain drop
Is formed. One of the minute rain
drops arc made up of millions of small
watery particles. Air passing over
the cold tops of mountains is cooled
down so ihat it gives up a good dea
of watcry v.,por, and hence little rair
falls in Colorado and in other places
north and south of that state. TIL,
prevailing winds blow from the west
and the cool tops Of the Becky Noun
tains lower their temperature and thu
take out the moisture that woul,
otherwise fall in rain.
